Figure 28: V. Waldré, ‘St Patrick Lighting the Pascal Fire on the Hill of Slane’
c.1801:
V. Waldré, ‘St Patrick Lighting the Pascal Fire on the Hill of Slane’, Dublin Castle c. 1801. This painting was commissioned to decorate the ceiling of St Patrick’s Hall in Dublin Castle. Seen as a fitting topic to illustrate Irish history, it was accompanied by paintings of George III accompanied by Justice and Liberty (to symbolize the Union) and Henry II meeting the Irish leaders.
